Default Which leveling kit?

I really want to level my truck out by lifting the front end. I've done some reading and see where a lot of the kits raise the front too high, and then you have to lift the back to even it out. Are there any kits that will give me exactly the front lift I need to level it??

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram Sport Club cab 4x4.

You need to measure the height of you truck to know which one to get. Measure from center of hub/wheel to bottom of fender lip. Do the same on the rear. The difference is the amount of lift you need to level it.

Me? I needed 2 inches. Others have more, others have less.

+1 A lot of it depends on how worn out your rear leaf springs are. If you plan on doing anything to the rear (new leaf's, aal, etc.) do it first then determine how much you need to lift the front. I put 1 1/2' spacers in the front and it sat bulldog. Then I put a short aal in the rear now it's almost perfectly level- maybe just a hair higher in the rear.
